https://dlpnd.github.io/nvr-wiki/Documentation for New Vegas Reloaded (NVR), featuring installation guides, a FAQ for editing settings, and detailed references for shaders including PBR, Volumetric Fog, Depth of Field, and Tonemapping. Includes a technical tutorial for porting shaders to NVR using HLSL, Visual Studio, and ShaderManager.cpp.
New Vegas Reloaded (NVR) uses two types of shader files:
.fx.hlsl: Contains the source code. This is the file developers edit..fx: The compiled version of the shader. The NVR framework automatically compiles .fx.hlsl files into .fx files at runtime for rendering.To pass values from the NVR configuration (.toml) to a shader, you must implement logic within ShaderManager::UpdateConstants().
Key implementation details:
if (TheSettingManager->SettingsChanged) block if the shader requires continuous updates for day/night or interior/exterior transitions.if (Effects.YourEffectName->Enabled)).TheSettingManager->GetSettingF(category, key) to retrieve floating-point values from the TOML file.lerp() function to blend between 'Day' and 'Night' settings based on the isDayTime variable for exterior locations. Use a simple assignment for interior locations via the isExterior check.if (Effects.LiftGammaGain->Enabled)
{
if (isExterior)
{
// Blend between Night and Day settings based on time of day
ShaderConst.LiftGammaGain.LiftGamma.x = lerp(
TheSettingManager->GetSettingF("Shaders.SweetFXLiftGammaGain.Night", "LiftRed"),
TheSettingManager->GetSettingF("Shaders.SweetFXLiftGammaGain.Day", "LiftRed"),
isDayTime
);
// ... repeat for other channels (y, z, w)
}
else
{
// Use static Interior settings
ShaderConst.LiftGammaGain.LiftGamma.x = TheSettingManager->GetSettingF("Shaders.SweetFXLiftGammaGain.Interior", "LiftRed");
// ... repeat for other channels
}
}NewVegasReloaded\nvse\Plugins directory. For users of Mod Organizer 2 (MO2), it is recommended to create a new mod with the folder structure nvse/Plugins and place the preset inside that structure.When porting a shader (e.g., from SweetFX or ReShade), you must perform the following cleanup on the HLSL code before integrating it into NVR:
__UNIFORM_SLIDER_FLOAT3, ui_label, ui_tooltip).TESR_ prefix to comply with NVR's naming convention.TESR_ prefixed variable names.To use ReShade and dxvk together with NVR, follow this specific installation order:
Vulkan option during installation.MSAA in both the game launcher and NVR (required for Depth Buffer effects).If the depth buffer is at the wrong resolution, calculate the ratio (Depth Buffer Height / Game Height) and add Reshade_Depth_input_y_scale to your ReShade global processor definition with that value.
To integrate shader variables into the C++ engine, you must modify ShaderManager.h in three steps:
struct ShaderConstants to hold the variables. Use D3DXVECTOR4 for HLSL float4 types and float for HLSL float types.struct ShaderConstants, declare an instance of your new struct.struct EffectsStruct using the EffectRecord* type.// 1. Inside struct ShaderConstants
struct LiftGammaGainStruct {
D3DXVECTOR4 LiftGamma;
D3DXVECTOR4 GammaGain;
float Gain;
};
// 2. At the end of struct ShaderConstants
LiftGammaGainStruct LiftGammaGain;
// 3. Inside struct EffectsStruct
EffectRecord* LiftGammaGain;To port shaders to New Vegas Reloaded (NVR), you need the following tools installed:
.toml settings files.To clone the source code, run the following command in Git Bash:
